{ALEXANDRITE}
"Please". He begged as he knelt at the ground while giving me his so-called puppy eyes.
"I told you, I didn't even know you". I replied frustrated.
He stood up and bow to me as I took a step backward because of unexpected action. "I'm Lucifell, one of the Seven Servants of Hell. May I asked your permission to let me live with you?". He asked that made me laughed.
"Servant of Hell?". I laughed again as he gave me a confused look. "Don't make me laugh Mister". I wiped the tears of laughter at the edge of my eyes.
"I'm not kidding Ms. Alexandrite". He smirks that made me widen my eyes because of shock.
"H-How?". Taking steps backward he took steps forward to me.
"I'm a servant of hell, Ms. Alexandrite". He said and took a step forward but I was already cornered by the wall in my back. "So wouldn't mind if I live with you?". He asked as he holds my chin and stares at my eyes with his red orbs.
My eyes were locked to his. Cold sweat suddenly dropped from my forehead as images flash on my mind as I keep on staring at his deadly orbs.
Dozens of blood everywhere...
Many lifeless bodies...
A man whose full of blood stains at his clothes while looking at them with a cold stare...
"May I?". I heard him asked but my mind was so blank all I did was slowly sat at the ground while hugging my knees because of sudden fear.
I felt like I saw hell for once. My body automatically shivers and my mind hasn't even cleared up.
Hearing a disturbing sound made my eyes automatically widen and harshly standing up from my bed. "Crap". I whisper as I catch my head.
"Good Morning". Someone greeted me made me fall at the floor. "Are you alright?". That voice again.
"D-Don't go near me". I crawl backward and hit the solid wall as I looked terrified to the man who nearly gets me to hell.
"Is there any problem Ms. Alexandrite?". He asked walking to me.
"I-I SAID DON'T GO NEAR ME!". I scream as I closed my eyes.
I didn't hear footsteps coming towards me. "If it's that what you want then I'll obey it. I'll just leave your breakfast at your study table". My eyes open as I hear his gentle voice making me look at him.
I follow his movements until he gets out of my room. Sighing and standing up from the ground I felt relief a little, I guess. Spotting at my study table I saw a tray of food in there together with a rose. I suddenly looked at it with confusion, I pull the chair of my table and sat there.
"It looks delicious". I whisper as I get the spoon and fork at the edge of the tray.
I use the fork and get the bacon and started to eat it. I widen my eyes because of how delicious it was and start eating the food continuously didn't bother if it had poison or something. I stand up to the chair after I finished eating m breakfast and look at my clock. My eyes widen as I stare at the alarm clock, without any plans, I quickly run inside the bathroom and start to wash in a short period of time.
'I'm late for school!'. I panic and turn on the sink and brush my teeth.
I turn around to look for my towel but it was not in there so I started to create silent tantrums while cursing silently at the air.
"Is there anything wrong Ms. Alexandrite?". Someone asked outside that made my eyes widen.
"I-I'm f-fine". I manage to answer even to shivers crawl to my spine knowing that person was still here in my house.
"You forgot your towel outside of your room. Wouldn't you mind if I give it to you?". He asked that made my face turns red.
"N-No thanks". I replied.
"You'll be late for school Ms. Alexandrite, I'll just prepare your lunch". He said politely as my face turns dumb.
"Just get out of my room already and do something!". I shout.
Okay, I manage to get out of the bathroom and wear my clothes and fix myself and pack my stuff. Opening the door of my room I look left and right to see if there is someone there, I sigh because of relief. "Here is your lunch Ms. Alexandrite". Someone said that made me took steps backward.
"Y-YOU A-A-AGAIN?!". I asked as I pointed at him full of shock and surprise.
"You'll be late for 10 minutes Ms. Alexandrite, your bike is ready outside and here is your lunch for today". He calmly said as I raise a brown giving him a confused look.
He moved a little giving me the way as I slowly walked and passed by him. Unfortunately, I thought he was just a hallucination so I poked his head and slapped him.
"What was that for?!". He asked as he holds his right cheek giving me a glare.
"Ah!". I scream because of what I just did.
"What is the matter with you?". He asked. "I'm trying to be good here and that's what all I get?'. He asked frustrated.
A vein popped in my head. "You say you're trying to be good?!". I pointed at him as I took a step forward. "Is scaring the hell out of is a part of it?. Or maybe knocking at the door in the middle of the night after I SEE YOU BEAT THOSE DISTURBING SOULS TO HELL?!". I shout.
Staring me with a shocked look he clears his throat while looking at another direction. "I-I'm sorry Ms. Alexandrite, I forgot what you've just done to me". He said and bow to me.
I sigh. "Just forget it already". I said as I grabbed the small bag to his hand and walked downstairs. He followed me but still, his distance was far more away from me. Stopping at my tracks I wear my shoes and place my lunch at my bag, turning to his direction he keeps on staring my actions while distancing himself away from me.
"Thanks for the lunch". I said opening the door. "And by the way... you can stay here if you want, just call me Alex and not Alexandrite". I said getting out and shutting the door of the house.
Those were just memories three months ago, and yup I keep that demon to my house just to help me. His name is Lucifel, his a demon that I saved at the hands of those street thugs back then. He followed me to my house and begged me to stay with me, didn't knew why I suddenly agree with it, besides he helps me a lot in doing the house choirs while I'm gone for school, but even though he helps me, he always annoys me every single time that we're together. Our relationship isn't like friends, it's like a dog and a cat one.
Walking at the sides of the road I notice a small vase of flowers and a candle at the edge of a big wall. I suddenly frown as I saw a spirit of a girl who's crying at there. I ignore it for a while and continue walking to my way to the school.
You're right about me, I can see spirits and other supernatural things at the world that nobody does and that what makes me special, at least that's what my mother told me before she died. It was also one of the reasons why I'm all alone in my life, with no friends and no families to be with and also the reason why they called me freak and weirdo whenever I go. Those people around me distance themselves away knowing that I'm different from them, staring at me with their disgusted and judging eyes while spreading there false gossips to everyone.
But... it doesn't bother me anymore, it's like human nature to me. Always hearing those words won't make me down, I know that it still hurts but, when you show that you're hurt they just made your life miserable.
Entering the not so big gate of the school everyone's eyes were on mine. Looking at me and whispering words to there oh-so-called friends.
"Have you seen her?". A girl said.
"Who?. That one with a grey jacket?". Her companions pointed at me.
"Yes. Did you know that she can see ghosts and other spooky stuff?". The girl said making the other girls gasp in surprise.
"And she can even talk to them". The girl added.
"I believed she has no family at all". Another one said.
"Maybe she killed them or eat their souls". I suddenly looked at them that made them flinched and fastly walked away from my sight.
It was not glare or a deadly stare, it was just a normal look.
I went inside a building on the left side of the school and went to my class. Going up from the stairs I saw some students are staring at me with their disgusted look, they even spread mare false to the others just to destroy my human being (note the sarcasm).
In my way, to the second floor, I entered the second door that I saw in there. Opening the door, no one was around there just the professor.
"Good thing one of my students still listen to me". He said. "You may now take your seat Ms. Alex. I'll let my class starts with you now, remember that you'll get additional points to your next exam". He said.
"Thank you, Sir". I said as I seat the first row and place my bag at the table.
Then the bell suddenly ring and hordes of students enter the whole class. I didn't bother what happens next, I just faced the desked and sleep at the whole class. The bells suddenly ring causing me to wake up. I immediately get out from the room cause it's already lunch break.
Looking for a vacant seat where nobody is I start walking around the cafeteria didn't bother the whole surrounding until I suddenly tripped at the way causing me to fall at the ground. All of the people around me laughed and especially to the bunch of girls whose laughing at my side.
"So 'clumsy' there Alex". The girl with a stupid hairstyle suddenly laughed at me while emphasizing the word 'clumsy'.
I get up from the ground and wiped the specks of the dust of my clothes and continue walking not bothering the laughter that I've gained from them. I was about to get out from the crowd but someone grabbed my wrist and pull me back in there.
"Hey, people!". Veronica caught the attention of the crowd looking at the two of us.
'This is embarrassing'. I wanna slap her but I couldn't, it just made the problem bigger.
"This girl can see spooky stuff!". She announced that made the crowd of students starts laughing and whispering to each other. "Are you gonna believe to this wanna be popular?!". She laughs at me.
I get my hand on her and take a step backward while looking at the ground. "Are you backing away this time Alex?!". She asked mad to my actions.
I just bite my lower lip and stopping myself from saying and doing anything.
She laughed a little and places her hands onto her hips. "Where are your spirits now Alex?". She asked. "Are there afraid of showing their disgusting faces to a queen like me?". She said proudly as I stopped myself again.
"Tell me now Alex?. Are they afraid of showing there faces to me just because of how fabulous and-".
*Slap*
I widen my eyes because of my own actions. I didn't even know that I could ever do that thing to her, I just couldn't stop myself from doing that for what has she said with the spirits that are still our world. I suddenly run to the nowhere and keep on thinking of what I just did.
It was all an accident, I didn't mean to slap her I just want her to stop saying those kind of things, she doesn't know what she's talking about, she had no clue what could possibly happen if she keeps on saying those sentence and words.
I suddenly felt hard like concrete smashed onto my whole body that made me out of balance and nearly fall to the ground I was waiting for the impact as I close my eyes but unexpectedly, someone catches me from my back.
"You must be very careful next time Ms. Alex". I open my eyes and saw whose the person in front of me.
"L-Lucifell". He guides me back to my balance and looks at me in the eyes.
I quickly look at down not wanting him to read my mind again. "What happen Ms. Alex?". He asked.
"N-Nothing". I wanna cover my mouth because I stuttered.
"It seems like someone was the reason why you're running this earlier". She smirks that made me hold my arm.
"Nothing really happens Lucifell". I said in a low tone of voice.
"Really Ms. Alex?". His face was coming towards me still with that nasty smirk of him.
I took a step backward and suddenly realize the current situation here. "Just what in the earth are you even doing here?". I asked twitching my eyes while pointing at him.
This time he was the one who takes a step backward. "U-Ummm...". I raise my brown.
"Are even here to bother me?". I asked and crossed my arms.
Clearing his throat he took something from the plastic bag on his left hand. "What's this?". I asked as I grabbed the plastic bag and open it.
"You forgot your lunch this morning so I buy some foods for you". He said that made me smile.
"Thanks, Lucifel". I said looking at him. "But... I may not eat it here". I said that made my smile turns to a frown.
"Let's go home, Ms. Alex". He suggested that made my eyes widen.
"Why?". I asked a little bit confused.
"You've might be caught off to a bigger fight when you return back to this place". He said. "And besides..."He smirks.
"We've got 'something' to do back at our house". He put his hands to his nape and turn back to walk.
A vein popped in my as I irritatedly threw him the plastic bag that hit his head. "You jerk!". I shout as I fastly walk passing him to reach the gate.
"W-Wait up!". He said but I keep on walking irritatedly at the way back home.
On our way back every eye is with us, especially to Lucifell. I suddenly covered my head using the hood of the jacket that I'm wearing.
'I really hate too much attention'. I thought as I looked at the ground.
"Something wrong Ms. Alex?". He asked.
"It's just every eye was on us. I wanna go immediately". I said not looking at him.
He suddenly carries me bridal- whatever they called that. "Then let's run". He said with a smile and starts running didn't notice the bunch of people staring at us.
I wrapped my hands around his neck and bury my face to his shoulder cause the pressure of the wind was smashing to my face. He suddenly slows his motion and gently put me down at my feet again. "Thanks, Lucifell". I said and open the door of the small house where the two of us live.
Entering it I quickly run and slam my body to the sofa and get the remote of the TV and start scrolling and looking for a channel to watch.
"Aren't you gonna eat?". He asked.
"Later maybe". I answer but still, my eyes were locked on the TV.
I didn't bother what he does I just keep on watching and watching there. Didn't knew the time fastly passed by I already slept at the couch.
"Ms. Alex". Someone said and I felt something was poking my cheek. "It's already afternoon, we don't have anything to eat". That voice again!.
"Five more minutes". I said as I wiped his hand to my cheek and cover my face with my arm. "Just take care of the dinner for today, I'm tired". I complain as I heard him growl in annoyance.
"Fine". He said.
Hearing his footsteps coming away I manage to peek at the small hole at the arm. I saw him walking to the door, opening it he stopped and look at me.
"I know you're just lazy to get up to that stupid couch. Just lock the doors and stay where you are until I came back!". He said and slams the door that made me fall to the floor because of the surprising move.
I mumble curses and turn off the TV and get my phone from my bag and start playing games there. In the middle of my attack, someone suddenly knocks at the door. Standing at the couch I look at the wall clock to see it was just 10 minutes since Lucifell gets out, suspicious.
Knocks on the door again.
"Coming". I said coming to the door and hold the doorknob.
Turning it I open the door a little surprised because of what I saw. 'Nothing?'. I questioned myself as I peek outside there and gaze at the surrounding.
I just huff for I know some stupid midgets are trying to troll me for nothing. I entered the house once more and close the door, yawning because of tiredness I barely get up from my room to open my laptop, I need to talk to my cousin.
Opening the video call of my laptop my cousin immediately answered my call. "'Sup". I greet with a bored voice.
"Why did you call?". He asked.
"Isn't it obvious?, of course, I wanna see my 'favorite' cousin". I sarcastically said.
"Funny Alex, your just a bother to my game". He bored said.
"Come on, it's been a week since I last talked to you Onyx". I said.
His eyes suddenly widen. "Alex". He spoke that's why I looked at him confused.
"Why?". I asked raising a brown.
"Have you been taking care of a child of a neighbor?". He asked... scared.
"Is there anything wrong?". Instead of answering his question I questioned him.
He pointed his index finger to my left side, didn't knew why I turn my head on there... nothing. "Are making fun of me Onyx?". I asked while a vein popped in my head turning my head back to his.
"I swear, I'm not". He said crossing his heart and looking at me with a terrified expression. "I saw a girl with a white dress behind you". He added.
Onyx Harrison, one of my cousins from the mother's side he can see supernatural things like I do but he cannot talk to them like I do. Our family has a race of some kind of extraordinary stuff like that. I wanna believe to him but he is a total joker, he likes to play pranks with me ever since when were still kids.
"You know what Onyx, I was about to check if you and aunt are alright but I guess you are so goodbye". I said waving my hands on the air bored and slowly shut the screen of the computer.
"Wait, Alex-". I cut him off by completely shutting my computer.
"That joker". I irritatedly mumble.
Creeps suddenly crawl on my skin sending shivers to my whole body. 'What was that?'. I asked myself immediately getting up from my bed. 'I really curse you Onyx Harrison for giving me the creepy chills'. I cursed at myself.
